Specification Quality Checklist: Charter directive-resolution hardening

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before planning Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details leak into user-facing scenarios (FR bodies name the seam, which is the mission's whole point — an internal robustness change)
  • ✅ Focused on operator value (less I/O; a visible signal on stale entries)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (FR / NFR / C)
  • ✅ IDs unique across FR-###, NFR-###, C-###
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds
  • ✅ Success criteria measurable
  • ✅ Acceptance scenarios defined
  • ✅ Edge cases identified
  • ✅ Scope bounded (perf + observability only; no behavior change)
  • ✅ Dependencies/assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All FRs have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Meets measurable Success Criteria

Notes

  • Internal robustness mission; "no implementation detail" is applied to intent, not to the seam names that ARE the deliverable.
